RMD160 f616e26e08d873923240dea512cf02e1ae2f1dd1 This is the correct RMD160 checksum for this package. Look at the checksum portage expects from you. The difference is just one character (">" instead of "6"). Please resync your protage tree and try to emerge this package again. In case you still encounter this error, please do a thorough check of your hard drive and if your hard drive turns out to be okay, reopen this bug and tell us from which mirror your synced your portage-tree.
It was a file corruption problem. Thank you Lars.
